Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], February 1: The research team at Wellness Space has recently published a groundbreaking article in the Journal of the Society for Social Work and Research (The University of Chicago Press Journals), highlighting the crucial role of personal interviews in assessing childhood trauma (G. Y. Trivedi et al., 2024). Led by Dr Gunjan Trivedi, the study demonstrated the significance of personal interviews in understanding the history of childhood trauma among adults seeking professional help.
In collaboration with experts, including Dr Hemalatha Ramani, Riri G Trivedi, Dr Anita Kumar (Psychologist), and Dr S Kathirvel (PGIMER, Chandigarh), the team conducted over 530 personal interviews. The findings revealed that certain trauma elements, such as domestic violence (intimate partner violence), mental health issues/suicide in the family, peer isolation, and emotional abuse, were often overlooked during self-assessment. Worldwide research highlights that repeated exposure to such events during childhood significantly contribute to long-term mental health issues such as anxiety & depression, PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), suicide behavior, etc in the adults.
